Posted this in the manager thread but probably more relevant here:
Just another point on Unsworth staying on that I haven’t seen mentioned at all and that is Joe Royle being involved in this set up.
I have a very long memory like some on here and people will remember Royles managerial time at the club here which was a period of pride, hope and success.
For me he is probably one of the most understated, understated and unacknowledged managers in England over the past 30 years. He is part of this set up, we are talking about the man, who was born in the shadow of a Goodison, who played and starred for Everton as a teenager, won trophies here, performed miracles at Oldham as a manager, the man who won our last major trophy and rebuilt the club from utter ash, the man who really saved Manchester City football club.
Joe Royle is a living breathing Everton legend both as a player and manager and not by profile but by success at this club.
If your asking me to I want a Dyche or a Allardyce over an Unsworth/Royle ticket, really it’s not even a contest.
When we talk about a managers that get Everton, we have a living legend and probably the biggest and most successful living Evertonian, involved in this set up.
That’s why I’m backing Unsworth, do not underestimate Joe Royle, his talent and his influence, I back him wholly
